` exact, description.

The object o'f the invention is to provide anew and improved accumulator or storage battery arranged to provide a large surface in a comparatively small 'space and to allow convenient'escape of gasesV and precipitation of sediments.

For the purpose mentioned, use is made A 'of- ,alternating positive and negative elec- ...,trodes,each formed of a series of laminated Arior guideways, and support-ing bars of .lead plates, insulating lead plates` interme- `2o diete theielectrodes, a casing adapted to contain ,thefj said electrodes and insulating plates, the casing being provided with integlass lor other non-conducting kmaterial and extending through the-said electrodes and insulating plates, the terminalsjof the said y supporting bars engaging -the A`said guideways to suspend the electrodesfwithin the casing. y'

Apractical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings orming a part of :this specication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the accumulator, the section beingb on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2; Fig. 2. is a transverse section of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 parts be- 4ing broken out; Fig. '3 is av lan view of the same; F ig. 4 is a reduced ace view of one' of the leadl plates of an electrode; Fig. 5 is a face View of one of the insulating plates;

'fFig. 6 is an enlarged plan view of part of one of the electrodes. Fig. 7 is a perspective viewof a Vportion'ofhthe bottom plate supporting they insulating plates and Fig. 8 1s a erspective view of one of the slotted cross ars of the electrodes. lThe casing A of the accumulator 1 s made of hard rubber or other similar material, and

. the inner faces of the sides of the casing A are providedwith vertically-disposed guideways B open at the top and adaptedto receive and support suspending bars C, of glass or other suitably insulating material,

the said bars extending transversely through positive and negative electrodes D, D spaced from each other by insulating plates E, of hai-'d rubber or a like material. By the arrangement described the positive and negative electrodes D and D and the insulating plates E are'suspended within the casing A.

Each of the electrodes D land D is formed of a series of laminated lead plates D2 D2, of which the lead plates D2 are provided with verticallydisposed corrugated ribs D* for spacing the successive lead plates D2, D3 apartto form circulating Vspaces. The p ates D2, D3 of each electrode are also provided withl slots D2, preferably arranged in oblique direction and with the slots D5 of successive plates D2, D3 extending in opposite directions so as to cross each other, as will be readily understood by reference to the full and dotted lines in Fig. 1. The intersecting slotsDs form passages'for' the battery fluid. As shown in Fi 2.', the out side electrodes are negative e ectrodes D and consequently the negative electrodes D exceed in number the positive electrodes D.

The upper ends of the plates forming the positive .and negative electrodes are provided with upwardly-extending lugs D, lD2 engaging notched cross bars F, F through which extend transversely ins G, G pass ing through the lugs D", 2, and the said cross bars F, F are provided with up wardly-extending binding posts F2, F2 for connection with the electric conductors. A

cover H fits into the upper end of the casing.

A and rests on the upper ends of the guideways. B, and the saidcover H is provided 'with an apertured vent I for .the escape of gases from the casing A.

The insulating plates E are preferably perforated, as indicated in Fig. 5, and their lower ends fit into notches arranged in the top of a bottom plate J, made of hard rubber or other similar material., and resting on transverse ribs K forming integral parts of the bottom of the casing A. The bottom plate J is provided on top with semicircular recesses J. connecting at the bottom with apertures J2 to allow sediment or other impurities to pass through the recesses .Tf and apertures J2 into the lower or bottom poi-- tion of the casing A.

The accumulator shown and described is very simple andl durable-in construction and ,claim as new and desire to secure by Letters nately and each formed of a'series of lamil ,nated lead plates, insulating plates interprovides an exceedingly large surface in a 'vidualI parts can be readily removed and re- `having its'sides provided at the inner facest .pending bars lof non-conducting material cross bars and thesaid lugs, suspending bars verse'ly through'the said electrodes and in'- Vand each formed of afseri'es of laminated 40.
